Pretty Mike: How I battled depression, fathered six kids from different women

Pretty Mike agrees he fathered six kids from different ladies whose conceptions weren’t from him.

The socialite spoke of his relationship life in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the media entrepreneur.

Mike, while making an analogy, clarified that a man of kind can father a child who isn’t necessarily his biological.

He spoke of this when he was asked if the claims are true that he had up to six children with different women.

“To me, it’s real life. Yes. [I fathered six kids for six women at the same time.] It’s a mystery. You can father six kids or more and they are not biologically your kids. I get shocked when people think the way they think,” Mike said.

“Let’s assume, technically, that you have six girlfriends and you impregnated them the same month or within a two or three-month period. Women, as notorious as they are, will never agree to come up and follow you in public.

“No matter how rich you are, two will say no. I’m an introvert. If the money is out there, I can switch. The only thing that makes me an extrovert is business. Why I do this because relevance is key. I don’t want to be sidelined.”

Pretty Mike also spoke of how he battled depression after people within his tight-knit circle disappointed him.

“One of the things that trigger that is, sometimes, you let people get to you. Don’t let people get to you, or someone close disappoints you. Someone like me has a lot of friends but also doesn’t have a lot of friends,” the socialite said.

“When someone in your intimate camp disappoints, it hurts. That’s not the people in the comments. It’s the people in your circle. At that point, you go into some kind of depression. I speak of short-term emotional depression.

“You have to shake it off. I had to stand up and just keep moving. The question you have to ask yourself is, ‘ are you done? Is this the end of the world?’ I have to remind myself that I haven’t had sex in Monaco yet. Still things to do.”

Mike is known for his out-of-blue stunts at social events that have, on several occasions, made headlines.

He was once seen with a group dressed in cult-themed outfits, carrying a supposedly lifeless and naked man.

Much earlier, Mike similarly turned up at an event in Lagos with an entourage of women dressed as animals.

In December 2021, he was at the birthday party of Eniola Badmus, the actress, with a group of semi-nude people.

He also appeared at an event hosted by the artiste manager Ubi Franklin’s baby mama with a native doctor.
